I bough a system and will let you know how the whole install goes along with the complete experience. Will haul out this summer to install components. I sure hope there are more sailors out there with "no problems" with this system. I didn't buy the triducer and hopefully this eliminates the like problems of having say, a, DVD/TV combo. Sad to hear about their poor customer service!

Hi I have just bought a refurbished jarkan 10.5, it came with a brand new 108 tacktick package ( windspeed, hull speed, depth ect), my problem sounds a lot like the other posts. My biggest nuisance is that my depth readout alarm randomly goes off displaying "no volts", I have tested the volts into the transmitter & all seems well but what I did notice is in the "setup health" chapter my hull signal would show "08" which is fine but at random moment would show "--", also while watching the signal the battery icon in the bottom left corner flashes showing empty, does this battery icon display the transmitter battery or the display battery? On start-up the display shows full battery. If anybody gots some ideas would love to hear it , cheers.

I have the exact same problem you are experiencing. I bought my boat new with new TackTick components in 2007. In our second season we started to experience what you describe with the "no volts". It has been very difficult to get support from TackTick, and our local dealer is not very experienced with the system. My dealer sent the Hull Transmitter in to TackTick, and it was sent back with a claim that it was fine. The problem remains.

I am embarking on an agressive search for information on how to resolve this issue. I will share what I find here.

Have you learned anything new?

Hi thanks for your input, i did have sucess , as it turned out the power
Connected to the hull transmitter was wired back to front. The transmitter has a built in battery and over time depleted . I would suggest checking the polarity with a multimeter & if that is fine I would wire an LED to the circuit to see it there is a intermittent fault. Good luck
